Fundy takeout? Like the food in Alma? Haha

Awesome I'll have to check that out. My weekends are going to be lost soon with my lift coming in haha

 

I did a thing!
It's a small thing, but I am electrically retarded so it's a thing

 

Cleaned up the back up cam wires with something more high speed, low drag.

 

Finally took the courage to get these bastards in. Yet to hook up reverse lights, waiting a friend to bring them from out east back home. Enjoy the show

The plan

 

Thats not a bad idea at all for switches

 

That's what I spent my time on today before the rain hit. If you need help let me know I'm here til Sept haha

 

I got nothing for switches yet


Do you have heated seats ?

 

Sure do!

My switch site

Do you have the build for the seats ?
Or where you got em

 

Actually stock heated seats BUT you can get them here https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/262159789057

 

I didn’t know the 2nd gens came with heated seats I thought that was a 3rd Gen thing

 

Haha nope, got the whole kit and kaboodle when I picked this bad boy up

 

It’s funny that the off roads don’t have em

 

Ya but your engine bay has so much room for activities. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

 

I probably could fit a 2nd battery there with a on board air compressor

Or maybe I’ll put bunk beds there

 

Soon...

 

This is going to be a long one.

TL;DR installed lift. Got massive height. Waiting for alignment

Started this early morning in some muggy hot weather. Picked it up the day before where they let me cross into Maine with an expired passport. Picked it up at Shiretown Packaging and Recieving for less than 40 moosebucks. Unfortunately got slammed with 281 bucks in duties and my truck got searched on the way back ahha

Huge shootout to:

@tacoma16 for bouncing ideas and figuring out what I have extra parts
@Wheeler's Off-Road Inc for some incredible customer service and discounts (besides the sucky conversion rate)
@Blackout14 for the HD-as-fuck leaf pack. Seriously dude the thing is beefy as fuck!

Lets get to the photos!!

Tires off, rear shocks being stubborn so we took care of business


Rusty as fuck

dropped down



lines were getting tight on the brakes, disconnected them completely




New vs Old... No contest

first pack in


Both packs in.


No wonder it's from Mexico... It never works .... Badum tisss



really hand to bend back the lower receiver portion that connected the shock.


That lower portion^

So thought I could get away without brake line extenders. Turns out I can. My friends friend had a threaded isolator that had the exact thread that I need. Seriously hit the jack pot.
Got about 2 more inches of play in the brake lines.


Since the lines were disconnected, decided to bleed the brakes . coming up on 200k so need to do some more preventative maintenance.


Ghetto? Yes but I would have to hit some shit hard in order to travel that far down

Back finished at this point. Serious amount of lift.


Old stuff. Only needed to undo 6 bolts to get it out.


Away bar links had to come off to get this out


Great success!!

first and only food break of the day


Tires went on after this. Did a rotation but some mad tire lean in towards the engine



This is what eight years of wear and tear on stock parts look like vs all new


before - rear

After-rear

34.5 to 42.75
Almost 9 inches on the rear!!

test one

test two



All done just waiting until Tuesday for an alignment.

Happy Canada everyone

P.s. one more comparison

 

What kind of burger?

 

Lol looks awesome dude!!!

 

I think it was called the king ranch? Got two of them. Super delicous. Makes the baconator look like a bitch
